Nakamura vs. Garcia
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R2
Nakamura has pretty solid wrestling wins, under 23s world champion... If Garcia can pull it off it would be a huge achievement and he is at a decent team in Fortis, but Nakamura wins alot by k.o, and in round 1... Didn't see his last one but need to see his fights it seems he fights with a rage

According to Rinya's Instagram the fight night will be somewhere in Asia, location TBD. If this is the Korean Zombies retirement fight I assume it will be in Seoul

Yeah Max vs. Zombie a good bet for the main event if this is in Singapore. Outside of Weili and Xiaonan, I'm pretty sure Song Yadong is the only ranked (east) Asian fighter in the entire promotion. 

Taira is really close but him and Weili are already booked and this card would be a pretty quick turn around for Song. I could see Xiaonan on this card because her fight ended so quickly but realistically the only fight she should probably be taking is against Rose and I'm all but certain she's not taking her next fight in Singapore.

I think relying on Zombie being healthy probably isn't smart but there's only so much name value available to headline an event in this market. 

EDIT: I guess I could see Xiaonan wanting to avenge her loss against Esparza in front of a home crowd if the UFC would oblige.

Hope they don’t make Max vs Zombie because that seem like it should be illegal

Max is still one of the best pound for pound and Zombie looks like he should retire soon

I'd rather see Holloway fight Zombie so he can stop destroying title contenders for Volk.

Holloway vs. Jung
Max Holloway, DEC
Still a good fight, but a bit too late for Korean Zombie obviously. This almost feels unfair at this point... But hey, he's still "only" 36 years old, and looking bad against Volkanovski is nothing to be ashamed about this days (even Makhachev looked like he lost against him). Plus Holloway is arguably at the end of his prime, and let's not forget Sung Jung won a decision over the talented and dangerous Dan Ige not that long ago, so you never really know, maybe he still can make that fight kind of competitive and fun to watch... Let's hope so !

Nakamura vs. Garcia
Rinya Nakamura, TKO, R1
Nakamura is another talented fighter to keep an eye on at Bantamweight... What a fascinating weight class.

- are you referring to the Holloway/TKZ or Nakamura/Garcia fight?
